Bless be the Tie that binds...I title this 'FEED MY SHEEP'. Remembering your first Devo. about returning home to God, I took notes...the beginning of many awesome spiritual journeys together. Close to 10 years and still taking notes, I'm still amazed at your Spiritual studies, insight, and revelations.
When we met on Sat. aft. with Debbie on your Radio Station, we enjoy rejoicing in his love. (sad to see it go). Of late your Zoom program with your granddaughter. What an awesome legacy, she as well as all of us are so blessed to be in your Spiritual Fellowship. I thank you and cherish the love, joy, and peace in Christ, we've shared thru the years. Sister Juanita, In your teachings you have exemplified Jesus's wisdom and love when he says in John 6:33~I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace, in the world, you will have troubles. But be of good courage, I have overcome the world. Love you now and always will, Ana. Sept. 19,2022AD.

09182022 AM Worship
Bless be the Tie that binds~Our hearts in Christian love. The Fellowship of Kindred minds is like to that above. Here we have a Brother in Christ named Eugene Short from Buffalo, N.Y. My son Joseph and I grew under his Spiritual guidance in the church of Christ which met for worship and fellowship during the 70-80's in Groton, Ct. where we were both baptized and the Lord added us to his church those who were being saved Acts 2:38-47 and the promise is to our children and their children. We admire and cherish the times we spent together with his lovely Italian wife Sister Carol Short and their precious gift from God-son & daughter Eugene & Leah. We lost Sister Carol to Cancer July 10, 1983. She was a wonderful example of a Shining light Sister in Christ. Her last lesson would have been 'If we are only Human' thought to chew on and consider in our Spiritual life in Christ...to him be the glory forever. Bless be the Tie~Mami, Nana Ana 9/18/22 AD.

Linda Ronstadt - Dos Arbolitos (Two Little Trees) (Visualizer in 4K)
Para Katilyn y Liam~Art from Mexico. Gracia por buscar mi familia en gerenaciones pasados. Me alegro y doy Gracia a Dios que Kaitlyn sabe y entiende el Espanol. Viste! lo que ase Dios todo Poderoso para nosotros~que la lengua de nuestro Ancestores pase de una herenacion adelante. Esta Cancion de Mexicana 'Linda Ronsatd~Canciones de mi Padre' se llama 'Dos Albolitos' reminds me of Wella and Wello~2 trees that fell in love, live together and they caress each other with the swaying of their branches...I cried when I first heard it because I thought of how my folks met in Puerto Rico. Kaitlyn Liam Wello your great grandfather Francisco Antonio Natal was in the Army during WW11, his troop was doing maneuvers in Wella's backyard. He saw Wella and 'Humbly (cause like your father~that was the kind of man, he was)he asked Mami Wella for a glass of water. He must have thought 'If just a Cup of Water...' God had planned it that way and that's how our family began with one simple humble request. She obliged, because Kaitlyn Liam, my Mom always said, 'Un Plato de Comida no se le niega a nadie'~'You deny no one a plate of food'. So these song brings tears of lost times...of cherished moments. You all are Blessed with Youth, Courage and love for each other and the future lies ahead open to venture and explore~take the love of God & Family with you always. God be with you till we meet again and keep you~in other words~'Dios me los Bendiga y Accompane Siempre'. Nana Ana Sept.9,2022 AD~in the Year of our Lord.

Black Tuesday: The People Who Lived Through The Great Depression | When ...
This one is for my First Grandson Joel (Joseph Andrew Chappel) You so remind me of a Chappel. They were tall and handsome Blue Chappels (Legend in PA.) Nana Mabel Wagner your Great Grandmother would say your Grandfather Joseph Chappel was off the charts Intelligent, he like your dad and yourself show had been in Mensa. You like him you're quiet, intro-spective and reserved that much I see you as 'All Chappel', be proud of your name, it comes from a long line of Brave, wise men...be careful with the drink that was their down fall. Uncle Jerome-Jerry is the one I will be speaking of here shortly, remember him as the man that always said about working at a young age, 'WITH THESE HANDS!' yes, he did shout it. The story begins like the Beatle Song~There are places I remember In my life~I loved them all...Picture 1970's my son a Joe Chappel baby, and we lived in Grandma Nolan's house in Queens. Aunt Flo and Uncle Jerry visiting...Uncle Jerry, 'Remember Ma! when dad died, you took me out of school at 12 years old, during the depression! and I'd go out looking for a job and no one was hiring...I asked 'Why?' and then I saw the sign 'No Irish need apply. (I'm crying as I'm remembering and writing this...mom/nana ana). So goes the Irish side of our family. Uncle Jerry would continue reminding mom how hard it was...he'd say, 'If I ate one more Apple or Apple pie, I was gonna puke! Then he'd pick Grandma up and she'd yell 'Jerry, put me down!'. He did, but he never let her down always the obedient, loving, caring son, who worked since the age of 12...he'd put up his hands to his face and exclaim, 'WITH THESE HANDS' I worked to support you, mom! and Sweet William and Ally~the oldest and you wanted 'him' to go to college. Meanwhile, Aunt Flo (Italian) sat stirring her Tea with a Tea Bag she bought from home...why? cause she never wanted to feel like she owed Grandma anything. More stories from Days gone by...Mom, Nana Ana 8/25/22AD. A Legacy: Your Father Joseph George Chappel III came from a line of French Descent. 'Oh, He looks like my Father French a 'Dark Irish' Grandma Nolan would exclaim upon first seeing him. She showed me her Father's picture on horseback as a young boy, your dad Joey looked just like him. She also had an 'Irish Clapheart' Ring in the mix that was for her granddaughter Suzy a Nurse. Grandma Nolan & Aunt Rosie McGilligudy loved little Joey a lot. Rosie was an orphan girl Grandma bought her home from the convent years ago to live with the family~and she was affectionately called Aunt Rosie. I remember Grandma Nolan saying, 'Mother spoke Galick and English and she was born in America!' What was the big deal, back in the day, it was a big deal to be born 'In America' due to all the discrimination against the Irish, but they lived and survived it. That's why the Kennedy's although rich had a heart for the downtrodden cause they also lived thru. It began in Brookly~near Carnarcey Street (picture the show-The Honeymooners~Your dad's nana looks like the Bus driver's wife and his Uncle Jerry looks like the Bus driver's neighbor friend Ed played by Art Carney. Grandma had a house built by her sons after they came home from WW2. A pretty little house, she'd tell the story a thousand times everyone would moan, but I was always fascinated and listened. There was a row of houses the sons built the rooms for their war brides with one big country kitchen everyone shared. One day after the new plumbing was put in Aunt Florence (Italian) Uncle Jerry's (Jerome)wife let out a yell! A dead mouse in the toilet! Everyone laughed at the crazy memories :) But the most that stuck in my heart was when Grandma would say, 'My mother spoke Galick', I imagine her with Red flowing hair like Maureen O'Hara yelling at the priest in a movie (when she got so mad and yelled at him in Galick). Grandma worked at the age of 12 for a butcher who doubled as a surgeon, she assisted in operating on a man's shoulder. She said, 'He drank enough whiskey to knock him out and cut precisely around the tendon as if working on a piece of steak. So many more stories, but these just come to mind. Joel, you come from a long line of proud Irish men intelligent, caring and hard working~I see Chappel in you. Remember your Great Great Grandmother was born in America be proud of that. Love you then~love you still...till I see you again...going up the hill. Take good care of yourself ~God will provide and always be by your side. Love you always~now have some Chinese on me :) Nana Ana Sept.9, 2022AD~In the year of our Lord. p.s. how bout them Chappel-Apples! p.s. The govt bought all the houses on Carnarcey Street...Grandma Nolan and her son & wives stuck out till the end not selling the home they built 'With these hands'...Being a 'No Sale' for distruction...the Govt payed Grandma and the boys 3x what they invested and because it was so well built kept the home as a Girl's dorm for what today is known as 'Brooklyn College', so you do have a legacy to be proud of your Chappel name.!

Saying goodbye to an old life - off to a new adventure
THE COTTAGE FAIREY~My Favorite you-tube Natural~Young lady...like me she's of Puerto Rican descent. Here she shares her life in her lovely serene cottage.

She brings a different flair to being Boriqua...I just so love her Natural~Style of living. Follow her and be delighted in her quest of being Self enriched by God's creation.

The Life & Times of The Waltons
The Waltons during the 1970's my son Joey and I with little Matthew (Sister Retha's son) would watch the show every morning. I'd crochet a zig-zag blanket which Joe subsequently took to college with him. We loved singing the theme song music...Today at age 70, I'm back to reminiscing and watching our favorite show again. The Joy & love shared like no other. Since having gone to upstate NY~Chattaqua to a convalescent home and gone to High School in Pelham Bay, Bronx also having have lived in Pa. I've always wanted to live in the country...like the Waltons :). Today we live in the Middle of America in Independence, Missour~home of Harry Truman how much more 'Country' can I get than this! My God thru my son knows exactly what I need~Blessed be the Lord for whom I am well pleased and taken care of...Thank you God. God Bless and protect my son* and the memory of Matthew and keep him*in church of Christ fellowship. Love all now & forevermore, Mami nana ana <3 2 <3 (3/4/22 4:14 AM).
